Board of Peace pledges to help find countries to accept Gaza students and patients - report
The move is seen as compensation to Israel after the broader issue of voluntary migration from Gaza was dropped amid pressure from Arab countries
A document obtained by Kan News revealed that Trump's "Peace Council" has committed to finding countries willing to accept students and patients from Gaza.
In the document, which is a list of demands recently forwarded to Israel by the Board of Peace and the United States, Israel was asked to create a travel plan for students from Gaza and a large-scale evacuation of Gazan patients abroad. This aligns with the Board's commitment to find countries willing to absorb those patients and students. Observers could view this as a form of voluntary immigration, which is something Israel has long advocated for, albeit at a much smaller scale.
Nevertheless, the document did not directly mention voluntary immigration from Gaza, as the issue, initially discussed openly even by the Trump administration, effectively disappeared due to pressure from Arab countries that strongly opposed it. The Board's push for the migration of patients and students is now seen as a form of compensation to Israel.
